Now is the Time to Update Your Backyard Patio with an Outdoor
Copper Fire Pit

An
outdoor fire pit is one of the best investments for your outdoor space,
providing hours of beauty, warmth, even gastronomy if desired, and of course
that ‘WOW’ factor; however, before you take the leap into outdoor pyrotechnics,
there are a few key aspects to consider.

Assessing
the dimensions of the space, the source of your flame, the surface in which to
place your new fire pit, the materials used, and design are all essential
considerations but first and foremost you most fall in love with your fire pit.
Fire pits are one of the bigger investments you will make for your backyard but
if you do your homework and choose wisely it will be worth every penny.
Backyard pits are in high demand but copper fire pits in particular are
creeping their way to the top of the list for the sophisticated buyer. While copper
has always been a superior architectural material, using copper as the
structure of a fire pit feels very fresh and current while retaining extraordinary
timelessness.

A
quick background on copper’s architectural use, world-renowned designers such
as Frank Lloyd Wright and countless others have relied on copper for its
brilliance and multifaceted pliability. Many esteemed works from cathedrals and
castles to museums and sculptures look even more regal with time as the copper
structure evolves from a dazzling orange to a refined Verdigris patina with
time. But copper’s appeal isn’t solely
based on the appearance of it but even more so its biochemical properties.

Copper
is one of the few metals useable straight from nature, without requiring
extraction from ore, and thus has been shaped and sculpted by metal workers for
centuries dating back to ancient Rome. Copper in its freshest state appears a gleaming
reddish-orange but as it reacts to atmospheric oxygen, not water, it develops
the much anticipated green patina (or Verdigris) over time which actually
protects the metal from decay. The living surface on the copper develops and
changes over time, no two are the same, and the patina will vary depending on
the environment, whether damp or dry. Due
to copper’s superior properties including durability, antimicrobial, and
natural resistance to corrosion, it provides the ideal foundation for a gas fire
pit that will provide lasting satisfaction.

Keeping
warm next to a fire on a cool evening watching the vivid red-orange glow generates
the type of memories which last a lifetime.
